The AirTAC Airtac TACE Guided Compact Cylinder TACE100X10S is a genuine double acting, non-rotating ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Twin guide rods keep the tooling from rotating.
A double acting, non-rotating compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the TACE100X10S pairs a 100 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke and a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod carried on a twin-guide yoke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight press fixtures and clamping stations where a full-length body will not go.
Plan on roughly 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Twin guide rods on the yoke stop the tooling rotating and carry side load, so a press plate stays square without an external guide. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, the 1/4" port takes air filtered to 40 um, and this model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating; guide rods: stainless steel (Ø12-40) / S45C (larger). Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin. Twin guide rods stop the tooling rotating.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
A 10 mm stroke and 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa clamp a steel bracket hard against a fixture in an automotive weld cell, with the twin-guide yoke keeping the clamp pad square under side load.
On a small swaging or staking bench, the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting the press head sit inside a tight guard.
A packaging gantry uses the 100 mm bore to lower and seat a loaded carton with about 200 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, sensed at both ends by CMSE switches on the -S magnet.
For this force class the 100 mm bore is the top of the ACE range; if 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N at the same pressure. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Order with FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR or FTC mounting, PT ports as standard (G on request), and the female M12x1.75 rod thread on the yoke.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa push reaches 5497.8 N (pull 5277.9 N). The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. In practice, plan on about 2356 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, roughly 200 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends that absorb end-of-stroke energy. Mounting options are FB flange, CA/CB clevis, CR and FTC, with a female M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/4" PT ports. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted in the body slots.
